Q: Why hire a planner?
A: Weddings are full of moving parts — timelines, vendors, décor, logistics, and the unexpected. A planner doesn’t just keep things on track; we make sure you get to actually be present and enjoy the day. We handle the details, troubleshoot behind the scenes, and guide you through the process so your wedding feels intentional, cohesive, and stress-free.
Q: What exactly do you do as wedding planners?
A: We’re a planning duo, two lead planners managing every detail from the first call to the final send-off. We coordinate vendors, guide design, handle setup and teardown, and make sure your day flows naturally. Plus, we capture the moments as they happen, so you have photos and videos to relive the day.
Q: Do you handle setup and teardown?
A: Absolutely. We take care of décor, rentals, signage, and all the little details that usually stress couples out. From setup to teardown, we make sure it’s seamless — so you can focus on your people and your day.
Q: What is included in the content creation?
A: We both create wedding-day content, meaning:
Q: How do you work with couples at different stages of planning?
A: We offer two main packages:
Q: How involved do we need to be?
A: That’s up to you. Some couples hand us the reins, others want to be involved in every detail. We adapt to your style and make sure your day feels authentically yours.
Q: Do you help with vendors?
A: Yes. We provide curated recommendations, research, contract guidance, and strategic support. For Full-Service Planning, we manage vendors from inquiry to execution. For Wedding Management, we provide hands-on help with up to three priority vendors.
Q: When should we book you?
A: Ideally 6–12 months before your wedding, but we’ve successfully planned weddings with shorter timelines too. The earlier we start, the more time we have to craft and refine every detail.
Q: What happens if something goes wrong on the wedding day?
A: That’s our job. We anticipate challenges, troubleshoot quietly behind the scenes, and keep the day moving so you don’t have to worry. You get to enjoy the day, stress-free.
Q: How long do you stay on the wedding day?
A: For Full-Service Planning, we’re there from setup to teardown with two lead planners managing everything. For Wedding Management, one lead planner and one assistant are on site to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Q: Do you work with all venues?
A: Yes. We coordinate walk-throughs, layouts, and logistics to make sure your day flows naturally, no matter the location.
Q: What makes you different from other planners?
A: We’re not just planners — we’re guides, storytellers, and content creators. We don’t chase perfection; we focus on creating a wedding that feels real, intentional, and unforgettable, while making sure every detail runs smoothly.
